Wrangell Sentinel -

Fuel price notices to end

With the next edition, the Wrangell Sentinel and the Petersburg Pilot will discontinue the Posted Fuel Notice that has been published since October 2015.

Fuel prices were more volatile then and the price fluctuation was of more interest to the public.

The retail price is clearly market driven and both Wrangell and Petersburg have competing vendors in each community. It’s obvious that the size of the market and the distance from the refinery will continue to influence the prices consumers pay at the pump in both towns.

Absent new information, we see no need to continue the weekly notices.
